This week's quiz: On 27 April, I asked you a question about Ukraine, which held its presidential election on 21 April. I asked you for the name of the winner and two unusual, or the first time for the country, things about him.
The answer is: Ukrainians elected Volodymyr Zelensky to serve as their sixth president. For the "firsts": Volodymyr Zelensky is the country's first president who is an actor; he has no political experience at all. As you have heard, Zelensky was immensely popular on TV series called "Servant of the People", which was about a history teacher. Well, guess what? Here's an actor who suddenly found himself as president, and the name of his political party, is – you guessed it – "Servant of the People".
The other first for Ukraine with Zelensky's victory: he is Ukraine's first Jewish leader.
Volodymyr Zelensky took his oath of office on 20 May.
The winners this week are: Umme Kulsom Khatun, member of the Oriental Music Club in Murshidabad, India; RFI Listeners Club members Samir Mukhopadhyay from Kolkat, India; Helmut Matt from Herbolzheim, Germany and Hans Verner Lollike from Hedehusene, Denmark. Finally, there's Shahzad Shabbir, the president of the RFI Pakistan International Listeners Club in Sahiwal District, Pakistan.
Congratulations winners!
